Folding Forum

I recently added some extra folding power but I had the feeling that the added power was not reflected in the stats.

I therefore did some calculations myself and it seems that indeed the stats are missing a number of work units.
I would appreciate if someone can take a closer look at what is happening behind the scenes. I don't mind allocating the computer power but only if it used.
However, I do not know what kind of data I should post since it is quiet a lot.

Let me try to explain what I have done (plz note all dates and times are in UTC)

September 5th
-----------------

I switched off all folding activities in order to make sure that no work units were pending at the stats server.
After more than 6 hours I restarted all computers but not at the same time. This should make it easier to debug since work units would be uploaded at different time stamps.

After those 6 hours I had the following stats (consider this the start of my experiment):
2 hours later, I had the same stat values (still normal)
2 hours later, the stats were updated
These stats do reflect the correct number of work units uploaded (5) and the score assigned to it (4 x 480 + 84)

I kept manually tracking the data stored in the log files and stored it in a spreadsheet and the stats were returning the same data as the data in the spreadsheet until September 6th, 01:00.
I then went to bed and this morning I added the remainder of the data to the spreadsheet and found that more data was not reflected in the stats.

According to the stats I upload 50 work units between Sep 5 09:00:03 and Sep 6 11:00:00 and a score increase of 25740.
According to my spreadsheet I uploaded 54 work units and a score increase of 28043.

I have been running this setup for a week now and although FahMon tells me that I should get a score of 28000 PPD, it is more like 22000.
I therefore decided to do the manual calculation and found the same values as reported by FahMon.

All help would be really appreciated

According to the official stats, you have 12 Active processors (within 7 days) and 15 Active processors (within 50 days). [They're really counting clients, not processors.] If you feel you should have had work credited this week from more than 12 clients, check the FAHlog for each client to make sure that they all show the correct UserName and that every client has a unique combination of UserID and MachineID. (Either can be duplicated between clients as long as not both are matching.)

To track specific WUs, we need to know the four values which identify the missing WUs: Project, Run, Clone, and Gen. To track individual clients, we need to know the first portion of UserID.

Thanks Bruce.

The UserID - MachineID combination was not unique.
I used a disk image and restored it on one of the machines and although I did delete and re-create the client.cfg file the UserID was not different from the UserID on the computer the image was made from.
